G'Day Mates!
I have finished and tested the Austrailian, Oatley 2 axis bipolar
drive kit #K109. I now have a 2 axis Etch-a-Sketch. I am pleased to
report that it works although there are some things that should be
mentioned.
1. Documentation with the kit was not so great. They gave me a
treatise on stepper motor theory but no instructions on how to assemble
the board, no specs, nada.
2. The board was however silk screened and everything went together
smooth.
3 . The LED's don't light up (or maybe I just couldn't see them in
the daylight)
Important: The driver is NOT a step/dir drive. Fortunately I kept
a demo copy of DeskNC which has a selection for PHASE DRIVE. I'm not
sure what that is but it works.
There is only one Vcc on the board and right now I am running at
18VDC just by turning the voltage up until the motors worked right.
I will post pictures later, next few days.
